Kawazu Kumite - Frog Style Kata

Character Use: Fukasaku, Uzumaki NarutoRank: Unknown

To become a Toad Sennin, a user must go through several training stages. To begin, the user will learn how to draw in natural energy and convert it into Senjutsu chakra. This Senjutsu chakra can then be used in Taijutsu attacks by using Kawazu Kumite. This style takes advantage in the increase in power stemming from Senjutsu chakra, which grants the user more strength, speed and durability. This also grants the user greater reach, as the Senjutsu chakra from the natural energy will surround and extend from their body. So though the opponent may dodge, the invisible aura will extend the short distance to still strike them. A strike to the head from such a hit will prove fatal to most anyone who receives it.
